Davido’s ‘Oriade’ Album Lands After Star-Studded Tracklist Reveal

Davido‘s sixth studio album, Oriade, has arrived, days after the Afrobeats heavyweight lifted the lid on its full tracklist and guest lineup. In a post shared online on July 28, the singer confirmed the 13-song project would drop that Friday, with CD pre-orders opening immediately.

Black Sherif, Mayorkun and Aya Nakamura Among Oriade’s Guests

The reveal gave fans a first proper look at the shape of the record, which balances solo cuts with a run of collaborations pulling in names from across Africa and beyond. Ghanaian star Black Sherif appears on “Amazing Grace,” while Mayorkun and FOLA team up on “B4 B4 With,” and French-Malian hitmaker Aya Nakamura features on “Yaya.”

Elsewhere on the tracklist, Jazzwrld and GL_CEEJAY join Davido on “I Know Who I Be With,” NO11 features on “Gimme Dat Ting With,” American singer Leon Thomas guests on “Tell Everybody,” and Llona closes out the featured contributions on “Guide My Light With.”

Solo records rounding out the project include “On the Road,” “Julie,” “Constantly,” “Already Falling” and “Zanzibar.” Announcing the lineup, Davido described the album as an expansion of his kingdom, saying it featured “musical royalty from top to bottom,” and asked followers which track they were most eager to hear first.

Why the Oriade Rollout Had Fans Talking

According to the original report, the tracklist announcement quickly set social media buzzing, with listeners debating the collaborations and trading predictions about which songs would emerge as favourites. That kind of pre-release chatter has become a familiar ritual around major Afrobeats drops, where feature choices are scrutinised almost as closely as the music itself.

For Davido, one of the genre’s most recognisable global ambassadors, a sixth studio album represents another milestone in a career that has helped push Nigerian pop onto the world stage. Cross-border pairings — such as those with Black Sherif and Aya Nakamura here — have become a hallmark of how leading African artists broaden their reach with each new project.

With Oriade now out, attention shifts to how audiences receive the record and which of its tracks connect most strongly in the weeks ahead.
